We’re Eryn and Caroline – both born and raised in Portsmouth – and Three Cuts Burgers is our little (now not-so-little!) labour of love.

We started out in a restaurant in Southsea, Portsmouth, cooking American-style comfort food and chasing the dream of creating our perfect burger. That’s where the idea for our secret Three Cuts blend was born.

It definitely wasn’t easy. There were countless tests, tweaks, and a lot of taste-testing before we finally landed on the recipe that felt just right.

Our first butcher was Astles on Copnor Road. We built a brilliant working relationship with them and collaborated for years, getting the balance of flavour and quality exactly where we wanted it.

Then Covid hit.
Like so many others in hospitality, we were thrown into uncertainty – all while our family was growing, with a baby due in the middle of the chaos.

We decided to take what we’d built and go mobile: popping up at events like Syon Park in London and Southsea markets on Palmerston Road. It was exciting, but it was also incredibly tough. Running a restaurant, doing events, caring for a baby, worrying about staff wages and cashflow… it was relentless.

Eventually, we made one of the hardest decisions of all:
we closed the restaurant doors to try and find a healthier work–life balance – for us, our family, and our team.

That’s when the next chapter of Three Cuts began.

We started again in a 3×3 gazebo, with our first regular pitch at Lakeside North Harbour – where you’ll still find us today.

In our first year on the road, we grew quickly and upgraded into a towable trailer (which only Eryn is brave enough to tow – it’s huge!).

As demand for our burgers grew, we parted ways with Astles in early 2025 – we still say hello whenever we cross paths! – and moved to our current butcher, Sky Park Butchery. They’re Hampshire-based, just by Rogate on a beautiful farm, with plenty of space for George and the team to keep up with our ever-growing orders.

These days, we still use our trusty 3×3 setup, and we’re currently waiting on our first drivable truck – so soon it won’t just be us on the griddles, our staff can finally share the driving too!

In peak summer, you’ll usually find us on the festival circuit across the South, including Victorious Festival – our absolute favourite, because it’s right here in our hometown.

We’ve also built amazing relationships with local breweries such as:
• Vibrant Forest
• Dark Revolution
• Arundel Tap Room

We love family-friendly trading, so we often run “kids eat free” offers in the school holidays, because we know how tough things can be for families in this day and age.

One of our proudest regular spots is Rogate Pumpkin Patch, which we attended for our 4th year in 2025. Each year we’ve grown alongside the event – strengthening our relationship with the organisers and our customers, offering family meal deals, and adding gluten-free options and other alternatives to make sure more people can enjoy what we do.

Three Cuts Burgers has never been the easy road – but it’s always been the right one for us.
It’s about good food, good people, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.
